Virgil Green has been one of those players who consistently teased Bronco fans throughout his career. Athletically gifted, yet never fully reaching the potential most of us hoped he would.
Green was always seen as more of the blocking tight end, and rarely made an impact in the passing game. In 2017 his run blocking took a step back as well. Several games I saw on tape from him, he was putting some bad stuff on film in the run blocking department.
Putting in a rough season in run blocking, as the “blocking tight end” in the final year of your contract is not a recipe to be brought back.
